I sat there nervous not knowing if they would help me or if I had to walk someplace else. Another tin with wheels stopped, a female got out and shouted the two people who were inside the big house. They came out and I could tell they were talking about me , then another tin with wheels turned up and stopped his wheel tin and took food out … Ahh food I was so hungry, my belly hurt . The people were still talking then the other person joined in, they finished talking the person on his own took the food into the other place and then went away. He would not help me. The other people were still talking but I kept well away. I did not trust them. But then something happened, the female who made me leave before started to talk to me, I could not understand a thing she was saying but her voice was not rough and threatening, it was calm and soft. I would not let my guard down fully, I am not falling for a soft voice, but slowly slowly I was getting nearer to her. Not too close I stayed at arm’s length away from grabbing arms they could do damage I am a dog, not stupid. Then suddenly everyone left I was left all alone again.
The two people had gone back into the big house so I stood on my hind legs and cried and barked, it worked this time she came back out, she opened the big metal bars and I walked into the garden. She put a small bowl on the floor; I knew it was not a food bowl because I had seen them before. But this thing smelt wonderful it was food, the aroma was drifting up and all my senses were tingling in anticipation. She backed away far away and I slowly crept up to the food. I have no idea what it was but it was not dog food, this was different, tasty wonderful. I could certainly get used to this. After I had eaten I ran back under the tree. My stomach still moaned but I had food in it, I was going to be okay. I fell into a deep sleep. Happy content and with a feeling everything was going to be okay.
I was woken by a wheel thing at the metal things beep, beep, the people came back out, by this time I was at the metal bars on my hind legs straining to reach the new person, the metal bars opened and something came over me I ran back outside on to the road. After a while the new person left and I ran around the back of the wall hiding, the female and male tried to get me to go back into the garden, in my own time I went back in, The male tried to catch me but I was too fast for him I ran and ran around the big house, when I had ran around a few times the man was sat on a small wall. I stopped running and went to investigate him, I sniffed his scent he smelled good, should I let him touch me? Yes just for a second though, oh that was nice he stroked my head and tickled me under my chin, I could get used to this they seemed like nice people.
